The 18-ICML takes place at the Lugano Convention Centre, Palazzo dei Congressi, which is located in the city centre and overlooks the beautiful city park (Parco Ciani), on the shores of the lake of Lugano. The Convention Centre is 10-minute walk from the railway station. Its rooms will host general Scientific sessions and Satellite symposia.
Some of the sessions, for example, “Meet the Professor”, “Focus on...” and other parallel sessions, will be held in additional large conference rooms 5 minutes' walk from the main Convention Centre (Cinema Corso and USI, Università della Svizzera italiana). The same rooms will also serve as overflow areas for the main sessions, which will be held at the Palazzo dei Congressi.
Lunches, coffee breaks and the commercial Exhibition will all take place in the “Marquee Parco Ciani”, a large gazebo, overlooking the lake and connected to the Palazzo dei Congressi by a covered walkway. The Marquee will also host the Poster session and an additional overflow area.
